Guest Reviews

Evelyn (10/5): Chilled Weekend - Chose the Douneside House for a chilled weekend, not disappointed. Lovely room and surroundings to walk and enjoy some great scenery.
Lorraine (10/5): - Fantastic stay at Douneside House. Excellent from start to finish and everything in between - accommodation, staff, facilities, dining (and drinking!) and all set in gorgeous grounds & gardens. Superb.
Andrea (10/5): - Amazing grounds. Gorgeous food. Great facilities. Super staff.
Paul (10/5): - Stayed in the Lady MacRobert room. Quiet peaceful. Staff was excellent. Couldnt ask for more
Leslie (10/5): - Lovely stay, would highly recommend!
Robin (10/5): Relax and Enjoy - Lovely stay. Very relaxed with delicious food and brilliant facilities. Beautiful gardens and the wider estate is worth exploring.
Douglas (10/5): - We enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Douneside House. The facility was spectacular, the grounds were immaculate, but most of all, the staff was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING in all respects!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We arrived after the dining room was closed (our fault) but they still went above and beyond to provide us with a wonderful meal. We will definitely stay at Douneside House on our next trip.
john (10/5): - Excellent staff
Sandra (10/5): - Staff, a la carte food, cleanliness, was first class, overall an excellent stay at this beautiful House Hotel! Will definataly visit again soon!
Jonathan (10/5): - The stay could not have been any better. Will be back as soon as possible!
Verified traveler (10/5): - The setting is lovely with amazing views, very friendly welcoming staff and really amazing food, the best food we had any where in Scotland.
thomas allen l. (10/5): Coming Home - Beautiful place to enjoy the scenery and get to places we wanted to see, the staff couldn’t have been better!!🤗
Verified traveler (10/5): - Very cosy seating areas with multiple public comfy rooms
Kerry (10/5): - Excellent stay and would defiantly come back again !
Verified traveler (10/5): Super Nice! - Interesting history of a very quaint hotel!
Sam (10/5): Exceptional - Really enjoyed our stay at Douneside, from the welcome and tour, to the health club facilities, to the exceptional dinner. The history of the house was fascinating and the relaxation unparalleled.
Verified traveler (4/5): - Don’t go when it is cold
Laura (10/5): Perfect weekend away treat - A wonderfully relaxing get away in a very home from home hotel. Staff with no exception were fantastic. Attentive but not imposing. We had a lovely big room with amazing views out over the lawn.
ALEXANDER (10/5): Superb stay in a lovely country house hotel - My wife and I had a superb overnight stay at this lovely country house hotel. The welcome we received from the staff was like nothing we'd experienced before - it was as if we were old friends coming to visit rather than first-time customers. The grounds were beautiful and the common areas full of character. We dined in the conservatory restaurant on the Table d'hote menu and the food was fabulous throughout all three courses. If I were to make some minor criticisms, I'd point out that we only had one chair in our room, which seemed a little odd considering it was described as a "double room with seating area". Also, there was no mention of ironing facilities in the guest information book, and whilst we did next morning find the relevant details stashed in a drawer, it was too late to be of use. However, these did not detract from our overall enjoyment, and we would have no hesitation in staying here again, or recommending Douneside House to others.
Verified traveler (10/5): Beautifu, quiet, rural luxury hotel - This is an absolutely delightful place for a quiet, peaceful luxurious stay in the most magnificent rural Scottish countryside. We would not hesitate to recommend anyone to take time out to enjoy Douneside and it's immaculate facilities. All the staff were efficient and friendly and were a credit to the MacRobert trust organisation and the memory of that amazing family.
Elaine (10/5): Lovely! - Beautiful hotel and grounds. It's a pity we were only there for 1 night for a flying visit so did not have time to enjoy all the facilities on offer. Will definitely be back!
